Hello and welcome to the seventh grade! I’m looking forward to a year filled with new challenges, fun, success and above all, learning and plenty of reading! This year we will be reading every single day and eventually all seventh graders (and myself) will be required to have read 40 novels by the end of the school year. Below you can find daily agendas of what we learn each day in Language Arts class, as well as homework that will be due.

In addition to our weekly agenda and homework assignments, please note our classroom procedures and rules letter that will be sent home on the first day of school.

Supply List for Language Arts:
-5 Star 5 Subject 8.5” x 11” Notebook (Students will use this notebook as their Learner Notebook for the year. This specific notebook is preferred because they are more durable and it’s easier to paste paper in the notebook.)
-Pencils
-Glue Sticks
-Highlighters

Ms. Nowak's Wish List:
Glue Sticks
Pencils
Five Subject Notebooks
Colored Paper
Colored Expo Markers
Tissues
Computer Paper
Hand Sanitizer
Clorox Wipes

**Parents: almost everyday we use glue sticks to glue in handouts and activities in our learner notebooks. Because of this, our supply will run short quickly. If it is possible to donate a couple packs of these it would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

**Parents: If anyone has young adult novels that are appropriate for 7th grade and they are not used anymore, please feel free to donate them to our classroom library! Thank you, it is much appreciated!

**NOTE: You may find daily handouts from Language Arts class on our Wiki page.
Directions:
1. Go to the Wiki site located on the sidebar.
